The Great Ruler

Chapter 617 – Luo Li battles Xue Tianhe

“Blood God Academy – Xue Tianhe seeks the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s guidance.”

“Saint Spiritual Academy – Ji Xuan seeks the guidance of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy!”

When the two’s voices rang out from the vast Golden Battle Stage, a commotion broke out in this region as innumerable people were startled in their hearts as the scene before them clearly showed that Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe had formed an alliance.

Ji Xuan VS Wen Qingxuan

Xue Tianhe VS Luo Li

The battle formation caused excitement to fill the eyes of everyone as their blood flow increased as well. Right before their eyes, those four were all noble phoenixes and dragons among men.

“Senior Sister Wen Qingxuan, go for it! Defeat Ji Xuan!”

“Luo Li go for it, our entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy supports you!”

“Two beauties, go for it! We of the Nine Ridge Spiritual Academy supports the both of you!”

“Our Spring Spiritual Academy as well!”

“…”

An earth-shattering amount of cheers rang out between the heavens and earth. Truth be told, the popularity of Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan far surpassed Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe. After all, there were so many Spiritual Academies here, and aside from the Saint Spiritual Academy and a small number of people supporting the other two, the cheers were basically one-sided for the other party.

Clearly, compared to Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe, it undoubtedly felt better for them to support the two pleasing girls.

Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe lightly smiled in this situation as they weren’t too surprised by the fact that Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan were more popular than them.

However, the Battle of the Champion was not a competition to compete for popularity.

Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan exchanged a glance in midair as they both nodded and their silhouettes moved, separately moving towards the Golden Battle Stage of Xue Tianhe and Ji Xuan.

The two graceful girls stood tall, with one wielding a golden war spear and the other wearing a long sword, their fine hair fluttered in the wind as they looked extremely gorgeous. The appearance of those two made many others hold their breath. After that, a supportive cheer that was even more startling rang out.

Under the cheers, Luo Li was staring at the blood-coloured robed figure before her with a little chill in her crystal-clear pupils, pointing the Luo God Sword in her hand towards the ground as faint killing intent was emitting from her usual calm expression.

“Haha, seems like your killing intent is pretty big towards me.” Xue Tianhe also noticed the killing intent that was being emitted from Luo Li’s body as he spoke with an indifferent smile, while his eyes narrowed.

“Since you have the time to come out from the Blood God Clan, then forget about going back.” Luo Li’s pupils stared at Xue Tianhe as she spoke.

“Truly worthy of being the next Empress of the Luo God Clan, that’s some tone you got there.” A cold sneer lifted Xue Tianhe’s lips as he continued, “Actually, I have a similar intention as well. If I’m able to capture you and bring you back to the Blood God Clan, I believe that the Luo God Clan can only serve us, the Blood God Clan, as their masters.”

Luo Li’s crystal-clear pupils were like isolated lakes, without the faintest ripples. She quietly looked at Xue Tianhe and narrowed her eyes.

Buzz!

The instant she narrowed her eyes, the Luo God Sword in her hands exploded with sky-shaking sword cries as vast Sword Aura spread out, as if it had engulfed the entire heavens and earth.

Creak. Creak.

Cracks and marks appeared on the Golden Battle Stage that was extremely firm, which was caused by the Sword Aura that filled the heavens and earth.

Luo Li slightly lifted her hand, pointing the tip of the Luo God Sword towards Xue Tianhe. There were faint distortions in the air, as if it was not able to endure the sharpness of her Sword Aura.

Fixing his gaze on the piercingly sharp Sword Aura emitted from the longsword in Luo Li’s hand, Xue Tianhe felt stinging pain on his skin, even with such a huge amount of distance between them.

As the Prince of the Blood God Clan, Xue Tianhe naturally knew how formidable the Luo God Sword was, it was the murderous weapon of the Luo God Clan. Back then, when Luo Li’s father wielded the sword, god-knows how many Sovereigns of the Blood God Clan had fallen under that sword.

“Although this Divine Artifact is formidable, I doubt that you are able to unleash all of its power with your current strength, right?” Xue Tianhe coldly smiled.

Facing his cold smile, there weren’t any answers coming from Luo Li. Her narrowed, charming eyes widened in an instant with her hand forming sword seals, stabbing her Luo God Sword forth. 　

Buzz!

Her stab might seem light, but the impetus behind it made countless people astonished as they saw the piercing Sword Aura that filled the heavens and earth converged at this instant as it stabbed out along with the Luo God Sword, turning into a sword image with the size of roughly a hundred feet. With a rustling noise, it tore through space and appeared before Xue Tianhe.

Along with the appearance of that sword image, deep cracks appeared on the ground. The surface of the cracks was as smooth as a mirror, instilling fear in those that saw it.

Seeing the sword image stabbing towards him, Xue Tianhe’s eyes were filled with graveness. Although he didn’t mention it, he was filled with fear for Luo Li in his heart.

In the current generation of the Luo God Clan, this girl was a person that would be shouldering all responsibilities in the future. At that time, she would become the absolute supreme Empress of the Luo God Clan.

Even if he could look at Mu Chen with disdain, he definitely did not dare to belittle the Luo Li that was right before him.

“Spiritual Blood Wall!”

Xue Tianhe’s feet tapped on the ground as his figure flew out, rapidly forming seals at lightning speed as he pushed his palm downwards against the empty space of the ground.

Boom!

The scarlet-red Spiritual Energy was like a tidal wave as it soared into the sky from the ground, turning into a colossal light screen that was a thousand feet in size.

Rustle!

The instant the blood-coloured light wall was formed, the piercing sword image was already within reach, and heavily slammed against the wall.

Boom!

Ripples that were visible to the naked-eyes were seen spreading out, causing explosions in the surrounding space as the aura rolled in waves.

Crack!

Clear cracks were seen rapidly spreading throughout the Spiritual Energy wall as a clear crisp noise was heard. The sword image had already pierced through the powerful Spiritual Energy wall, heavily slamming against Xue Tianhe’s silhouette, which was unable to dodge in time.

Boom!

Xue Tianhe’s figure was sent flying away as he made a hundred foot mark on the ground with both of his feet, before he could stabilise himself. His arm was postured in a cross before him, scarlet-red in colour, similar to heated metals, as peculiar violent energy was emitted from both arms.

Drip.

On his scarlet red arms, a deep sword mark was present as fresh blood dripped down.

The confrontation between the two was only an instant, but the astonishing power that exploded between their counters made every student feel their scalps turn numb. They could sense that even a Third Grade Spirit Disaster would have a hard time resisting that move from Luo Li.

Just a single sword move was already so formidable.

The supportive sheers that resonated between the heavens and earth froze in an instant as many experts felt a chill down their spines as they sensed how sharp and powerful Luo Li’s attack was.

Amongst the four in the Battle Stage, Luo Li possessed the lowest fame compared to the rest. After all, Mu Chen had been the one leading their team and even in the Battle of the Best 8, Luo Li easily defeated her opponent; thus, not many people were well-aware that despite having a gorgeous appearance and being low-profile, she possessed such terrifying strength.

When Mu Chen was around, she would naturally suppress her sharpness and become quiet. But the instant Mu Chen wasn’t around, she was similar to the Luo God Sword in her hand; breaking her seal and unleashing her sharpness that soared in the skies, simply unstoppable.

Right now, Luo Li was unleashing her sharpened cutting edge.

She was like a blooming twilight flower.

“Truly expected of the Luo God Sword…”

Xue Tianhe looked at the blood-dripping sword wound on his arm as his expression was terrifyingly dark. Shortly after, he stared at Luo Li and revealed an eerie smile, “But, I have done my preparations to deal with you!”

As he finished his speech, his hand slowly smeared across the sword wound. The scarlet-red on both of his arms became darker, and vaguely, blood-coloured flames were oozing from his arm. Under the burning blood-coloured flames, the sword wound was actually healing at a rapid speed.

After the appearance of the bizarre blood-coloured flames, blood-red ancients rune actually appeared on both of his arms. With the appearance of those runes, Xue Tianhe’s arms swelled up a size with veins wiggling like earthworms, unleashing a dreadful power that instantly exploded.

At this instant, not only did his arms look more robust, they looked longer as well. His palms looked as sharp as the palms of a beast, completely unhuman-like.

Boom!

Xue Tianhe revealed a savage smile as his palm slapped the ground. The scene made everyone dumbfounded as cracks appeared on the extremely firm Golden Battle Stage. The cracks exploded as they extended towards Luo Li.

Luo Li narrowed her eyes as she drove her Luo God Sword into the ground, Sword Aura exploded from the ground as it stopped the cracks and gold-coloured rocks flew out at the same time.

She raised her head and looked at Xue Tianhe’s arm with a little astonishment. She lightly raised her brows and faintly said, “This must be the Low Rank Divine Artifact of your Blood God Clan, the Blood Demon Arms, right?”

Xue Tianhe did seem to have the knack for it. Judging from the power, he had probably fused the Blood Demon Arms into his own, thus allowing him to fully unleash its power.

“Although the Luo God Sword is powerful, you still can’t fully control it. So today…”

The smile hanging on Xue Tianhe’s lips became even more savage and eerie.

“I will use these Blood Demon Arms to thoroughly defeat you, the future Empress of the Luo God Clan!”
